Chapter 362

Bailey could not help but sneer.

What did he just say? It's shameless of him to ask me to hand Shannon over. I would've killed him if itwere not for Artemis. Did he even flinch one bit when he asked those people to cut off Shannon's arm?Did his conscience ever condemn him when he staged that accident that killed Eugene? He never oncecherished the woman who offered him her heart.

“You said you wanted Shannon. Sure. Over my dead body,” Bailey challenged.

To her, there was no point in keeping up the act anymore since the secret was already out.

Micah glared at Bailey as he enunciated, “Do you think I won't kill you? I can compromise on anythingfor you, but not Shannon. You have to hand her over today.”

“Haha!” Bailey laughed out loud, but gradually, tears started rolling down her cheeks.

She was crying for Shannon.

Shannon had always been an endearing person to Bailey. Not a single soul would remain unmoved byher story and how she survived all her hardships.

“Micah Neyman, you have no right to ask for her. I'll let everyone and anyone see her except for you. Ifyou have a problem with that, fight me.”

“Do you think I won't do it?”

Micah glanced at Bailey coldly as he waved his arm, silently signaling his men to make a move.

At his command, groups of men in black emerged from the trailer behind him.

That was just as expected from Tarragon's leader. Micah could easily mobilize hundreds andthousands of bodyguards with just a simple order, and Bailey was no match for him, but that did notmean she would back down.

She had made up her mind that she would not hand Shannon over to Micah, even if bloodshed wasabout to occur.

“It seems like you're bent on destroying me, Mr. Neyman. I might not survive today, but I'll never betraya friend.”

Subsequently, Bailey took a gun from her subordinate and aimed it in Micah's direction. “Who's gettingthe first shot?”

She barely finished her sentence when a screeching sound of brakes pierced through the air from afar.

Then, an off-road vehicle sped over and stopped between the opposing groups.

The door to the driver's seat opened, and Bailey frowned at the familiar figure that alighted from thevehicle.

It was Artemis.

Why is he here? Didn't I tell him to stay away from Springwyn?

“Why are you here?” she questioned.

Artemis ignored her, strode over, and snatched the gun from Bailey before pinching her cheek hard.

“Ouch...” Bailey whined, glaring at him. There was affection and reproach in her tone.

Before she could do anything, her forehead hit Artemis' chest.

Seriously? Why is he so violent? Can't he be a little gentler?

“You're hurting me.”

“Serves you right.” Artemis darted a reproving glance at her and leaned over to whisper into her ear, “I'llteach you a good lesson after we get back. I'll make sure you can't walk for the entire week.”

This scoundrel! Can he not talk about sex all the time?

Pulling Bailey into his embrace, Artemis raised a brow at his friend, wearing a half-smile on his face. “Ican't believe you messed with my woman while I was away, Micah. Do you have a death wish?”

There was no way Artemis and Micah could remain friends at this rate.

Micah squinted his eyes and reiterated, “I want Shannon. Give her to me, or no one is leaving alivetoday.”

Artemis' brows arched at the threat before he lowered his head to look at Bailey. “Is Shannon withyou?”

Bailey blinked at him and squeezed out some tears from her eyes. “Shannon? I don't even know whoshe is, Artemis. Please do something about your friend. He bullied me when you weren't around.”

Both Micah and Artemis' faces twitched.

They had never met a woman who could put up such a good act. Her skills of playing dumb were out ofthis world.

“Did you hear that? She said she doesn't know Shannon, so stop pressuring her.”

Micah pursed his lips in resignation.

I can't believe I actually have a sworn brother like him. I must be blind.

Just as Micah was about to utter something, Artemis shot him a meaningful glance, and Micahunderstood immediately.

After what the two brothers went through together, there was no way Micah did not know what hisbuddy was implying.

Though disgruntled, Micah still gestured at his men to make way for Artemis and Bailey.

Since Bailey refused to budge no matter what and was adamant about keeping Shannon, there was nouse for Micah to continue forcing her.

Instead, it would be better for him to have her tailed to replace out where Shannon was.

I've got time, anyway. I'll definitely replace Shannon one day.

After that, when Artemis dragged Bailey to the car, the latter asked out of curiosity, “What did you tellhim just now?”

“I urged him to let us go because I need to bring you home to make babies.”

Bailey elbowed him in the stomach, eliciting a mellow groan of pain from the man.

“Enough with your lewd jokes. Tease me again, and I'll sever your manhood.”

After escaping from Micah, Bailey boarded the plane with Artemis, and they headed for Hallsbay.

Although Micah already knew their whereabouts, Bailey figured the best place to go would still beHallsbay.

Otherwise, if she were to send Shannon somewhere else, Micah would still easily replace Shannon.Hence, the best option would be Hallsbay.

Artemis tried to ask Bailey about Shannon on the plane, but the woman shot him a death glare, causinghim to zip his lip.
